actually, this demo doesn't have alot to do with pixels, except they I used them to load 4000+ rectangles from an image
anyway this demo was for me to see what kind of performance Slick could deliver with 4000+ rotating, translating rectangles. I also used this demo to develop some camera programming for future projects.
basically you just have a large array of rectangles that make up the "Slick" logo. you can use your arrow keys to zoom, the a/z keys to zoom in/out, and the spacebar to explode the image (or reconstruct it)
you can check the demo page out
here, which includes a cool video of the demo in action. or you can just run it via webstart
here. source code is available on the site, feel free to do whatever you want with it
